handle of hoe

thingiverse

As a farmer and educator, I have several farming tools. One of the hoes has broken due to heavy use for decades, so I replaced its wooden handle with 3D printed ones. The handle's design is inspired by bamboo structures, which allowed me to create it lightweight yet robust. To prepare my data, I used NX 7.5, as it's the only software I'm familiar with. The helix menu played a key role in designing the outer structure.
